Then the irony:
After touting the need for primary care physicians, they then list the "most influential" doctors in America in four "specialties."
Hypertension, Asthma, Diabetes and Cholesterol.
Just looking at Asthma in Maine, over 90% of those selected are specialists. So, why would your average American want to go to some less than capable PCP, when they can go to a specialist.
We all know that prescribing Flovent or Advair is just not in the purview of the average primary care provider.
